Re: Class V hitches
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: NickKent</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> How do they get the added capacity and stay smaller? </div></div>The XDR has heavier thicker steel components overall. Hard to see from the pictures but very noticeable when mounting (two people would have been nice).
The end position of the receiver tube sets higher, closer in, tucks up under the bumper more and extends less than others do. When you're standing from behind, the main tube is not visible, only the end of the receiver tube, very clean looks.
For this reason, as a replacement/upgrade, you may need to change the drop on your existing ball mount for a level ride since the XDR sets higher.
I didn’t want to have to buy all new ball mounts with the 2.5” Reese but wound up changing some anyway.[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif[/img]
